Nashville residents can expect a rollercoaster of weather conditions in the coming days as temperatures swing and storms roll in, according to the National Weather Service.

Later tonight, storm clouds are set to gather, bringing a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after the early hours of the morning. The calm before the storm comes with an expected low around 64 degrees, as East winds pick up to a mild 5 mph, shifting south southeast past midnight. Nashville's weather is mirroring the unpredictability of a typical spring in the South.
Friday's weather takes a turn for the wetter, with the NWS forecasting a 90 percent chance of precipitation. The day will start with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, then shift into steady showers and potential thunderstorms after 7 a.m. This could lead to new rainfall amounts between a half and three-quarters of an inch.
As the weekend approaches, conditions remain precarious with Friday night seeing continued showers and possible thunderstorms. The mercury will hold steady with another low around 64 degrees, while Southeast breezes blow at a gentle 5 mph. The chance of precipitation stands firm at 80 percent, promising a soggy end to the work week.
The weather saga continues into Saturday, with the NWS predicting a 70 percent probability of more showers and possibly a thunderstorm, despite partly sunny skies and a high near 79 degrees. Nashville locals might get some respite from the rain Saturday night, with only a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 a.m., followed by partly cloudy conditions and a low around 62.
The forecast finally brightens by Sunday, with full sunshine expected and high temperatures soaring back up to around 84 degrees. Calmer weather looks to settle in at the start of the new week, with a sunny Monday and a high near 89 degrees.
However, early predictions for the following Tuesday hint at a return to less stable conditions, with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms as temperatures flirt with the 90-degree mark.
